    Episode 15: Athens, Georgia (w/C. Trent Rosecrans)
    Apr 13 2023

    America is filled with cities and towns that are built around a university, but no city better embraces the term "College Town" than the home of the University of Georgia; Athens, Georgia. Winners of the last two NCAA College Football National Championships, along 46 other team national titles across their nineteen sports, the Bulldogs have become one of the most dominant athletic programs in the United States. We are joined by Senior Writer covering the Cincinnati Reds for The Athletic, and Georgia alum, C. Trent Rosecrans, to talk about where his career in sports journalism got started, the rise of UGA's athletic teams, and how Athens might have claim to the best music town on Earth, as well.
